yeah i know. i use my uncles silverado 2500hd diesel, which last time i towed the evo did around 17mpg down to njmp. it actually doesnt wind up being much more. if i leave from ri it takes me 2 tanks of gas each way in the evo, plus the adding 1k miles which makes me cringe. my dad kind of agreed that for peace of mind in case anything happens to the car it might be worth towing if i can get a trailer for $2-3k, plus it will be less driving for me and i might wind up not being so dead tired by the time i get on track.

plus it will definitely expand my track range, because i can probably convince my dad to meet me at the track with the car

Do yourself a favor, do a little more research before u just buy a trailer. That trailer u posted is too expensive for a 2006. I bought mine new 3 years ago for $2200 in Pennsylvania. Also, the older trailers don't usually have dual axle brakes. Newer ones all have it

Jew worried about mileage. I more concerned with piece of mind when I'm 6+ hours from home. Jew also act like a ***** about putting miles on car.

i have been looking. thats one of the best deals ive come across. where in the hell did you find a new one for $2200? plus its craigslist so i had no intentions of even offering the asking price.
